There's a warm sense of humor scattered throughout the levels, and some later stages are really pretty challenging to master. Its cuteness and charm will keep you smiling as you play.

The whole experience is technically sound, but something felt lacking. It's a solid game with a pretty face, but it is missing that special element that makes some games great.

Tapping on a clock at just the right moment can be surprisingly fun, if basic, when it comes to .NOON.

The comic portions of this game are where it really shines, but the gameplay is enjoyable enough that it doesn't feel like a chore to get to the laughs.

The crucial thing here is that it's all fun. The puzzles aren't overly taxing but the experience is enjoyable.

Roman Backgammon could do with this potential pitfall fixing but otherwise, it's a worthy title for board game fans to check out.

I think this game is only for a gamers with patience to handle the difficulty level in part due to the controls.

The game's levels aren't the most ambitious to be seen in a platforming title, and in that way AWESOME Land seems to have missed one of the biggest lessons of the games to which it pays homage.

1010! World is a simple but pleasant puzzle game.

It's frivolous entertainment easily picked up to waste spare time, but it's not worth a trip over the rainbow.

After 4 years, the latest entry to the Sentinel series is here. It's not quite as wondrous as we hoped but it's till pretty satisfying.

An entertaining entry into the jumping genre. The rubber-band mechanic, coupled with a need to be quick and accurate, make this a game that is easily playable for a few minutes, or extended gaming sessions.

So, while I'm still somewhat conflicted about this game, I still actually enjoyed it quite a bit, though there is a flawed concept here. This is probably best for the kids, though I'm probably going to go kick Finn again. I'll see myself out.

You won't be too enthused by its nature if you're used to something a bit more involving or less cutesy, but it does have its benefits.

A fun physics-based iPhone game that can be played in a remarkably open-ended manner. And it's only a dollar. Very cool.

This puzzling game is so weird that it's hard not to like despite its flaws.

Ever wanted to run a call center? Probably not, but Smooth Operators! makes the experience a lot more interesting than the real thing!

A genuinely creative game that is all at once quick to intrigue, and hard to become attached to.

For a casual game, Tiny Places can get more frustrating than most.

Masters of the Masks is a standard RPG with a few extras to make it stand out.

As far as games go, it's fairly run of the mill.

Shadow Runner is a great game for folks who crave a challenge and revel in the precision platforming of titles like Bit.Trip Runner, but it may turn off those who prefer a more casual experience.

Web of Power is definitely an interesting and thought-provoking game, but it's also not too terribly accessible.

At the end of the day, this isn't a high-art game or anything like that. It's about a granny killing zombies. Take it or leave it.

BIT.TRIP BEAT feels like a divisive game – creative, right brain types will likely appreciate the game for its art and can look past the flaws. Logical, left brain types will struggle with the game's flaws to enjoy the core product. I find myself in the latter crowd, struggling to enjoy a game that is alternately brilliant and frustrating.

This is an extremely faithful port of the original game, all the way down to the input lag. The game is difficult, yet rewarding thanks to each success being well deserved. This is not a game that will appeal to everyone, but any fans of games gone by will find this makes a decent addition to the collection.

Planet Hop is as empty and unforgiving as space itself. That's not a bad thing.

Looking for some old-school sneaking action mixed with some brutal gang-fighting? Look no further.

Even without being aware of its scientific inspiration, EMC is still a fun little game with a satisfying hook. It's the kind of time-waster perfectly suited for iPads and iPhones. EMC is a successful experiment.

Tabletop Defense is a unique tower defense game requiring strategic placement of weapons in order to defend against attacks from both land and air units.

It might not bring anything particularly new to the table, but that doesn't stop GooHoo being an entertaining puzzle platformer.

Players won't be entirely certain what it is that makes a potentially monotonous idea so entertaining but it works.

There's promise for a better game here, one that can provide that balance between fun and challenge that seems so hard to attain.

It's a shame that Style Studio: Fashion Designer crashes so readily as it's quite an original app, albeit a little pricey for what it offers.

Danmaku Unlimited is bright, beautiful, and challenging. Shooter fans will have a great time with the game, but they may find themselves missing some of the variety seen in other shooters of this caliber.

The quaking camera and explosive graphics make it a real treat for the eyes, and the chaotic gameplay is very fun, as well. Even the audio is great-subtle, dramatic music coupled with good sound effects. Sadly, though, the technical issues along with the lack of replay value keep Warheads from its full potential.

While Rally-X Rumble won't likely convert anyone who isn't a fan of the game, those looking for a version of the game on iOS at last will enjoy this.

Who Stole Me?'s formula is pretty standard, and free-to-play trappings cause the game's difficulty to ramp up quickly. It's still a fun little puzzle title, though.

Not the prettiest of racing games but a fun way of completing some ridiculous stunts.

Air Patriots seems worth that $2.99 price as, while the controls are a little demanding, it's a fun twist on the genre. I'd prefer to pay up front for such content, though. Dishing out for a trickle of in-app purchases just feels a little disingenuous.

Kind of Trials like but with trucks and buses, Offroad Legends 2 is a fairly respectable physics based racing game.

It's quite fun to play, if a little easy. However, there's the sense that The Adorables is just a demo, requiring money to see its true potential.

Simple to play and simple to look at, Lost Light is still a fairly enjoyable Matching game, even if it isn't overly exceptional.

A charming classic brought to iOS, Little Big Adventure maintains its charm but that control system is awkward.

Ultimately, StickWars 3 is an easy to play time waster. The minutes flow quickly while playing it but once put down again, it'll be forgotten nearly as fast. For the asking price, that's all that anyone could want.

Straightforward and cute, Chasing Yello Friends is also a little lacklustre in terms of content.

With some minor tweaks, upgrades, and bug-fixes, Parcel Panic could make everyone forget about the obvious Crazy Taxi comparisons. Until then, it is still a fun game, and is recommended to those who were patiently waiting for something like this on the iPhone.

Simple and cute, Baseball Battle is a fairly fun baseball game for those looking for something light.

If you just want a bit of fun, it's certainly very much worth the $0.99 asking price. The gameplay is good fun and the upgrades and economy sides of the game add something new to this genre, and it works very well. But, the more competitive players may get a little frustrated by the in-app purchases. It seems a subject that iOS game developers still haven't quite got their heads completely around, yet.

Despite these flaws, the game does iterate on both the original Cubed Rally Racer and even on Temple Run to create something new.

The price tag for this game may seem a little high at first glance but the sheer number of levels in the game makes it well worth a couple of bucks. There are literally hundreds of levels to keep players busy for a good time.

Create words from a series of tiles in this simple yet fun word game.

Nitro is another free to play racing game that should satisfy those who want a more arcade-style experience, but it lacks the addictive hook necessary to make it a classic.

PlanetHD will keep players busy for a while, though its unpredictable physics are a handful to deal with.

As far as endorsed games go (Kleenex in this case), Sneezeman could've turned out a lot worse. As it is, it's cute and inoffensive but lacks any real punch to keep it in any form of direct competition with some of the better-known platformers in the App Store. Of course sometimes a person, especially a person with a miserable cold, needs a little cute.

Race against the clock and the dastardly Bash Beaver in this free to try 2D runner.

The core mechanics are not necessarily as fun, and there's not a lot to really hook players yet. Maybe down the road, this might really be worth it.

Call of Mini Zombies 2 scratches that primal gamer itch for shooting wildly at things that move, but don't expect much depth.

Like an autumn wind, Leaf on the Wind feels pleasant enough most of the time - though some gusts are certain to frustrate you to no end.

It's a bit repetitive after a time, but Day of the Viking is fun in short doses.

Motorblast has some nice looking graphics that take players through wild jungle tracks. They graphics look good on all devices but they have been especially optimized for any Retina Display devices. I think this is definitely a decent racing game that will appeal to many and it has just the right amount of racing action at an affordable price.

Fist Face Fight is slow to get started and runs out of gas quickly, but it's an enjoyable ride until that point.

Boom Boat is a fun little game all in all. The controls are a little sensitive at times so it'd be nice if you could adjust the tilt sensitivity. Other than this though, it's attractive fun and its star system will scratch an itch that completing Angry Birds left behind.

For a quick iPhone romp, Naughty Bear really isn't a bad selection. It doesn't have a ton of depth and the whole gameplay aspect is lacking, but it is fairly entertaining.

Fans of casual gaming will find themselves entertained by Sticky for awhile, but it's not even close to the quality of Angry Birds, and that's a bit frustrating.

It's a simple game indeed but you'll find yourself playing Sheeple Chase for long enough to warrant the $0.99 price quite easily. It's also ideal to show kids although I fear the intrusive difficulty level restricts how much fun they'll have with it.

Adding some 'oomf' to the genre, OOMF! is an Endless Runner from a first person perspective. It kind of works.

A change from the usual format, Wheel of Fortune Cubed suffers from some control-based issues, but it's an otherwise quite solid word game.

This endless runner makes a few neat changes to the formula, but the core game is built on a lot of well-worn territory.

It's a fun little title. Perhaps not one that you'd play for hours on end, if nothing else your brain would slowly implode from all the sums. It's also solely for the enjoyment. There's no sign of a leaderboard or achievements or anything like that.

FIFA World Cup offered so much but is definitely not a world beater.

Sticky Linky is pretty straight forward. Levels may be slightly different throughout but the format never changes amongst the 54 stages included. Fortunately, that's not really needed as Sticky Linky serves its purpose well. A steady supply of achievements further the cause for keeping players happy during their quick bursts of gaming, although long sessions may highlight the repetitious nature of the game.

Swap Sword makes a great first impression, but misses out on a lot of its potential. As a result, it feels like more and more of a disappointment the more time you spend with it. Hopefully it gets additional content in the future. In its current form, Swap Sword is fun, but also rings a little hollow.

Plants vs. Zombies has been around for quite some time. No doubt many players have already exhausted its content. For them, Nano Ninjas delivers a good enough version of what they want.

Fat Chicken offers a cool if gruesome idea for a reverse Tower Defense game, but it's actually quite formulaic.

Slightly sinister smiles aside, CityVille Hometown offers some reasonable free to play fun without forcing payments.

This amusement park sim got the "extremely faithful" port treatment, but is that a good or a bad thing?

Tired of frantic endless runners? Air Supply Infinite is a slow burn. An endurance test.

Despite using unoriginal sprites, Dungeon Highway's blend of 2D art in 3D space is still the most unique thing about it.

Although it's no SSX, Snowboard Heroes is still a solid iOS game and has enough to it to keep you busy for a lengthy period of time. Any snowboarding fan will especially enjoy being able to play something of this quality on the go.

Block Rogue is all about the repetition, for better and for worse. While the game can be addictive as you try to figure out just what is going on, the game can eventually become quite droning.

A charming little physics-based puzzle game but not much more.

I’m glad that Hyper Light Drifter is on mobile, but it doesn’t exactly seem like a great fit. Between the slow ramp up and performance problems, it’s probably best to play this game elsewhere if you can. If you can’t, it’s still possible to enjoy the game on iOS. I did, but I probably would have had more fun with it on console or PC, assuming those versions don’t have similar issues.

Twirdie works for the most part though, mostly veering away from being too tough. It does feel a little gimmicky but there's enough content to keep playing.

It won't win prizes for looks, or even originality, but there's something enticing about Jawfish Words.

Letris & Friends performs quite well. It's just unfortunate that it comes along at a time when another game does it all better, and classier.

I may be guilty of not judging Epoch on its own merits, but the similarities to Infinity Blade are all there, and almost everything is inferior.

Innovation isn't its strong point, but Small Fry is still an entertaining Endless Swimmer starring a cute fish.

Four Pigs Soccer is a fun little party game, provided one can rustle up three more piglets to play with.

This "physics shooter" does a pretty good job at pretending to be more than the clone it is.

It may deliver on some of the potential, but it seems to be far more Phantom Menace than A New Hope. Give it a look if you are interested in getting a glimpse at the future, otherwise it may be best to wait for a price to drop.

Munin looks pretty and offers some interesting puzzling mechanics, but its unforgiving nature will infuriate soon enough.

The Last Driver is highly enjoyable for the first couple of hours of play. It just gets a little too stale too soon to be memorable enough. There's a nice idea within, it just needs more variety to be worth sticking around for.

Sirtet may initially look like that familiar tile-matching arcade title we're all likely familiar with, but it has a unique twist up its sleeve.

While able to be called "sufficient," considering there are no other licensed basketball titles in the App Store, NBA Elite 11 falls far short of what should be expected for an iOS sports game.

Despite awesome visuals and great music, Frontier Heroes just doesn't quite deliver enough fun with its history lesson.

It's a shame, really. If it weren't for the camera/controls combination, Asteroids 2012 would be a pretty fun game. With less-twitchy controls and a more user-friendly camera, it would be an easy recommendation for arcade lovers. But even after (yes, after) an update, it still suffers from the same problems. Still, there's potential here.

Astro Party is a frantic duel type game that's great for gathering around your iPhone and duking it out.
